Neil Dallas Brown studied at Dundee College of Art before returning to teach there and in the 1990s was a familiar figure on the staff of the Glasgow School of Art. His work from the 1970s often exudes a sense of threat, of pending brutality and sexual confrontation, inspired in part by the sectarian troubles engulfing Northern Ireland. His so-called 'Ulster Paintings' stand as testament to these difficult times with the imagery of menacing, wild dogs a re-occurring theme.

This painting was lost in the fire in The Mackintosh Building at The Glasgow School of Art on 23rd May 2014.
